“Selectively bread” I’m pretty sure that cats are the ones that choose to become loaves

Meanwhile sheep are so corrupted that their wool needs to be sheared by humans

Looked it up because this seemed kind of plausible.
The parasite is called “Toxoplasma Gondii” and it is transmissible to humans.
However, in humans it normally just causes slightly erratic behavior if anything rather than killing you (though it does sometimes kill you)
Some evidence that in infected rodents it actually does make them less fearful of cats, but even in their case same deal. Erratic behavior then death.
Your cat hasn’t infected you with a brain parasite that has no effects other than to just make you like cats.

I remember talking to a doctor one time about that and wondered what the risk was for getting brain parasites from cats
They said that people tend to overestimate the likelihood of getting toxoplasmosis from cats (since they are the hose where sexual reproduction occurs) and *underestimate* the likelihood of getting toxoplasmosis from things like bird poop and rat poop

Cope, cats got domesticated by wheat.
Wheat rules supreme!

This is dumb, wolves are the ones who approached humans in order to get food leftovers. So they domesticated themselves. And nice one thinking dogs are ”subjugated”, it just says a lot about OP that he thinks a pet is ”subjugated” instead of a companion.

We used to worship cats, and they have not forgotten this fact.

But when you say that cats are a bio-hazard, a threat to public health, and that the so called ‘government’ has clearly been subverted when their stormtroopers stop you from fighting back against the feline menace . . . suddenly you’re ‘crazy’, and ‘a complete psychopath’, and ‘not allowed in this pet store any more’!

I think cats were domesticated because they were the friendliest beast that would regularly hunt pests that ate our grain. Cats compared to most other animals, are pretty friendly.

I swear people wouldn’t know toxoplasmosis if it weren’t for memes

Do you know why dogs worship human? What are thinking while they love their owner for very little reason.
While the parasite does manipulate rodent behavior to facilitate transmission to cats, the effect on human affection for cats is less clear-cut and still a subject of scientific research and debate. The idea that it’s the sole reason for people liking cats is generally considered an oversimplification of a complex host-parasite interaction.
